Dust explosions are a complex phenomenon that can occur when solid dust particles are dispersed as a cloud. In such configurations, solid particles can burn rapidly as the surrounding air acts as an oxidizer and sustains the combustion of the suspended particles once the reaction...
Senior K&C engineers Tim Brewer and Peter Vonk will be presenting at the SPAR International 2014 Program Conference in Colorado Springs on April, 16, 2014. The session is titled, Integration of High-Fidelity Physics Based Analysis with Building Information Models (BIM) to Enhance Infrastructure Resilience and...
K&C develops a new design for a Transparent Armor Window (TAW) system for naval ships. The design decreases the life-cycle cost of the system while improving ballistic, optical, RCSR, and chemical resistance performance....
To address a need for accurate assessment tools for conventional weapons effects, the Government tasks K&C to develop a suite of innovative fast-running models for application vulnerability assessment and planning tools....
Locations of international airports and details withheld due to the sensitive nature of the designs....

Component Test Structure 1 (CTS‑1) is completed to evaluate the blast-resistance of a conventional reinforced concrete building....
K&C begins design of new Surgery Center, Main Entry Lobby and new Central Plant at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. This is the first design of a steel moment frame hospital structure following the Northridge Earthquake in 1994. The central plant replaces the central plant designed...
K&C supports the Government to develop super hard silos to protect strategic systems. K&C develops designs, performs pre and posttest calculations, and supports high explosive tests to simulate nuclear air blast effects. K&C innovates a “yield link”, an early development of a structural fuse in...
K&C completes support of the construction of the Page Building at Children Hospital of Los Angeles, CA, USA. The structural design includes modifications to account for lessons learned from the Sylmar Earthquake in 1971....
